Our Story
Ichud Shivat Zion is a modern orthodox community of young families and professionals from diverse geographical & cultural backgrounds. Our members are from all across the religious spectrum, who have moved to Tel Aviv.
From our humble beginnings in January 2000, we have created a place of gathering and prayer that is warm and welcoming. We are active on Shabbat and throughout the week with services, shiurim and two separate kollels.
We organise communal Shabbat and Holiday meals (Dinners & Lunch), fancy dress Megilla reading and Purim parties.
Other commemorative Shabbat and holiday events such as a gala Yom Ha'atzmaut service, musical selichot services with instrumentals are held throughout the year.
Within the community center, we have two other minyanim. The Italian Minyan and Chug Hanoar (representing the elders of the community that preceded our Minyan). Both these communities have separate weekday and weekend services.
On Shabbat, we run a popular tefilat yeladim (children's service). Children's programming is in our dedicated children's area that includes a lounge seating, Gymboree and library room with games. We have a widely acclaimed 'kiddush club' with a selection of herrings and fine single malt whiskey. We have an open communal Kiddush every week after services, including cholent, kugels, herring, salads etc.
Should you wish to sponsor the main kiddush or children’s kiddush, please email info@ichudtlv.com,
or call the shul office on 03 522 4047 for more information.
We host a volunteer initiative called Mensch, that assembles chargers for Israeli military vehicles and other tactical equipment. These special charges help save soldiers' lives. We have provided over 20,000 charges to soldiers around the country.
Mensch
We set up a Chamal to support and supply soldiers with food and equipment in every unit all over the country. As of Aug 2025, we have serviced over 61,729 soldiers.
Many items are still needed and there is constant demand. All donations would be greatly appreciated and will go directly to supporting these efforts. In addition, we are receiving many requests for essential military equipment for all units.

Volunteer Efforts in Wartime
Ichud Shivat Zion Community opened a command center (Chamal) in the synagogue's basement, where hundreds of volunteers from all over the world came to help collect, sort and send out orders to soldiers.
